Tinkering as Learning

Sto leggendo Revolutionary Road ma non ricordo chi ha detto un anno fa provocando una rivolta su Internazionale, che leggere romanzi ormai è inutile. Abbiamo una vita così frenetica e tante cose da imparare che è molto meglio sfruttare il tempo da dedicare alla lettura con saggi e libri che parlano del nostro campo di studi. Beh ai romanzi non rinuncio e non li troverò mai inutili. Spesso è molto meglio leggere un romanzo che passare una serata con pseudoamici. Comunque questo blog è sulla SEO e senza ombra di dubbio quello di cui si discute quest'anno è il social. La guerra Facebook-Google e l'importanza della condivisione. La pubblicità è cambiata, nessuno si fida se anonima, ce la deve fare un amico. Facebook è lì per quello!

Cercando in rete letture social interessanti sono capitata sul blog Caterina.net ( la mente di flickr) che consiglia di leggere John Seely Brown e il suo nuovo Tinkering as Learning ( mi sono già innamorata del titolo), perchè è ciò che mi ha portato ad essere una seo. Questa lettura la prendo come un buon segno per ciò che voglio fare nel 2011. Ho trovato un bel po' di spunti interessanti nella bibliografia del libro (You Play World of Warcraft? You're Hired! LOL) :
